We had so much fun with Carmen and Miguel on their Jacksonville engagement session! We had a great day exploring the downtown area with this fun loving couple – they are so sweet together, don’t you think?
 

 


 
Downtown Jacksonville has classic and also unique locations, perfect for whatever kind of engagement pictures you are looking for. We first went to Memorial Park in historic Riverside and then moved down to Ortega’s scenic bridge over looking the St. Johns River.


 
Miguel is a Navy pilot, and the couple wanted to incorporate that into their session. (We love it when couples choose locations that mean something to their love story!) We had a blast shooting at NAS Jax and sharing a wonderful day with this awesome couple!

Jason and Jaime are such a fun couple and we’re excited to share a sneak peek of their wedding album!
They wanted an elegant wedding keepsake that also had personality, and chose our gorgeous album with full canvas photo cover. This album has 40 pages of wonderful memories to cherish for generations. Jason and Jaime also ordered smaller versions to share their special day with parents and family.
Enjoy this selection of our favorite photos and designed pages from their wedding album!

In support of our Jacksonville art community and education, Favorite Photography recently participated in a fundraising event by donating a high school senior portrait session. An amazing mom bid on our gift certificate and won the auction for her daughter. Jessica, a talented and sweet graduate from Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, wanted a nice but also creative headshot for her resume as she heads off to college in Colorado. These are some of our favorites from the photo session!

Jessica has an exciting future ahead of her, and we’re so glad we got to capture her natural beauty!

Location: St. Johns County Agricultural Center

Jerry had so much fun with Angela and Todd at their engagement session at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. They are a wonderful couple who love to have fun together!

Just look at Angela’s gorgeous smile! We loved how much they laughed together.

Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Matanzas River, Washington Oaks makes such a beautiful location for engagement pictures. The colors of nature are always amazing, especially within this coastal hammock filled with majestic live oak trees, flower gardens, exotic vegetation, and lovely footpaths!

We then headed to the beach side of the park to wrap up the engagement session with a breathtaking background of coquina rocks and crashing waves. There’s nothing like looking out on the ocean and thinking about the possibilities of your life together!

There’s nothing quite as patriotic as an Americana themed wedding! We loved photographing the 4th of July wedding of Nick and Barb – they had some of the cutest details for their special day.

They had delightful family and friends involved in the event – helping to plan the wedding, her grandfather married them at the church, and guests got into the theme by dressing in red, white and blue! It’s such a joy to photograph marvelous people getting together for one of the most important days in the happy couple’s life. Hope you enjoy some of our favorite images from the day!
Ceremony – First Christian Church, Neptune Beach
Reception & Catering – Casa Marina, Jacksonville Beach

We wish Nick and Barb a wonderful future together! Thank you for letting us be a part of the beginning of the rest of your lives together.

As the new year begins we are gearing up for another round of engagement and bridal sessions. Here is a sampling from Jaime’s bridal session at the elegant Epping Forest Yacht Club. She was such a beautiful bride and the sweetest person! Jaime and Jason were a perfect couple. We created a 12 inch square, custom bridal album and look forward to designing their large 11×14 wedding album next!

Family is such an important part of our lives and there’s nothing better than capturing the essence of parents and their children, both together in a group and as unique individuals.  Favorite Photographygraphy.com/ portrait sessions are a fun experience and we shoot a variety of creative and traditional photos, including more candid lifestyle images. Our goal is to produce photographs a family will cherish.

Here is a sampling from a recent family photo session Jerry photographed at St. Augustine Beach. These are from our new, one-hour location portrait session which includes a digital download of all unadjusted images. This concept was created so everyone can enjoy amazing photographs at an affordable price. With all of our photo shoots, we include a free personal gallery online for sharing with family and friends.

While we love color, stunning black and white photographs say so much and will never go out of style.

It’s always refreshing and an absolute joy to work with happy couples in love. Our typical engagement session lasts about two hours and during that time we have a chance to be an artist, creating original pieces of photographic art and memories. It’s like having a blank canvas when you start out with two people, whom which are not paid models, and end up with many little masterpieces.

Jordan and Brian are a great example of how wonderful an engagement
photo shoot can be when you’re with someone you adore. Even though it
was super windy that day in Saint Augustine, their devotion and deep
affection for each other shine.

Velissa and Willie had a gorgeous wedding day at Embassy Suites Baymeadows in Jacksonville, Florida and Favorite Photography had the pleasure of being a part of it all.

Jacksonville Wedding Photography

They are another one of our amazing couples, so in love and great to work with! Jerry Favorite photographed all their special moments starting with candid, getting ready photos, the ceremony, formal family and wedding party photographs and a plethora of images throughout the reception celebration.

Jacksonville Wedding Photography
After the happy couple selected their favorite photographs from their wedding day, Jerry designed the custom montage album in Photoshop. Our archival photo books have ultra thick, seamless pages.

Velissa and Willie’s wedding album is a classic storybook they will have
to treasure for many years to come. Their “Tiffany” aqua blue and soft cream colors were bright and elegant. They had beautiful details and accents from flowers, jewelry, programs to favors and decorations. We love their wedding album and photographs and hope you enjoy them too!
